it's a photo of president obama skeet shooting at camp david. it came as a result of an interview he did where he was asked while you're talking about gun control and restricting guns, have you ever fired one? the president said we do it all the time at camp david. his critics said prove it and out came this photo released by the white house. then there was criticism that it was taken and released just to try to get support for the president's programs which people who typically use firearms have been opposing. that's part of what the president will talk about today in minneapolis. he's there. his first trip out of washington to drum up support for this plan. parts of it seem to be moving forward here on capitol hill. there's growing support for universal background checks but other parts like the assault weapons ban you don't even hear the administration talking about it as much anymore and that's one that even democrats here don't think is going anywhere. so today we'll get the president's take and by the way, they picked minneapolis because i
